After making your adjustments:&#xA0; &#xA0; &#x2022; &#xA0; &#xA0;Lift the rear of the bike by the seat.&#xA0; &#xA0; &#x2022; &#xA0; &#xA0;Spin the rear wheel.&#xA0; &#xA0; &#x2022; &#xA0; &#xA0;If it spins freely, you&#x2019;re all set! If the wheel doesn&#x2019;t spin freely, simply back off the adjustment screw a bit until the rubbing stops.
